is your current head a USDM ST-165 head with an EGR port? The JDM units don't have it. I'm trying to price out what it would take to make my ST165 emissions-friendly again and my JDM head won't pass visual as it has no EGR port.
Do a search but you are going to nead at least the exhaust manifold and the turbo for a head swap. I don't know about the intake side.
Pointzero has a ST185 engine& tranny for sale for $300. I need to rebuild my tranny or a new one. We might be able to swing a deal here by splitting Pointzero's engine & tranny and I take your old ST165 head. Yeah you'll have a short block left over but at least you will have *all* the stuff you need for the swap.
Just a thought,
Thomas
